In 1908, he built a small playhouse called The Surprise Theater to replace the old Bountiful Opera House which had burned down. It was too small, however, and he soon built a larger one. Three years before. Call had also added a new small hand-fe- d cylinder press and hired a young man named Willard G. Carr who also married Carr's daughter Annie. Carr eventually purchased the printing business from his father-in-larenaming it Carr Printing Co., still a Bountiful company almost a century well-know- n later. But there was lots of activity around the county, as well. Centerville already had the countys first nursery, established by Samuel Smith in 1885. but the city would take until 1915 to be fully incorporated. Farmington, designated as the county seat in the 1850s. had only been incorporated a little more than 7 years as the century changed, with a population of 1,180 in 1892. Woods Cross began due to the Utah Central Railway in the 1870s and had a vibrant history of its own. Kaysville was one of the most progressive cities in Davis County, opening the countys first telephone exchange on Kaysville 's Main Street in August 1903. Kaysville Elementary School was built in 1905, and by the end of the decade, forces were already in motion to build Davis High School, which was finally announced in 1914. But relations between Kaysville and nearby Layton (then a single municipality) weren't good at the start of the century following a conflict that had been raging for the better part of two decades. Residents living in what today is Layton felt they were having to pay Kaysville taxes but weren't getting their fair share of expenditures for road repair and police protection. The area began calling itself Layton in 1886 and by 1889 had begun building its own city hall. This sparked protracted court battles over the breakaway town, which led all the the way to the Utah and the United States supreme courts. In 1900, Kaysville paid off its remaining debt on its city hall that had caused part of the controversy (by its loca- tion near downtown Kaysville) among Layton residents. With this obligation resolved, the courts authorized Layton to become its own unin- corporated area on March 1 , 1 902. ' Layton's business district grew rapidly to include two general stores, a meat market, a saloon, a coal dealer. a blacksmith, a barber and the Layton Milling and Elevator Company. In 1903, the mill shipped more flour than any other in Utah. In 1905, the First National Bank was established and still remains one of the community's pillars today. Two years later, the Kaysville city hall that had fanned the controversy was destroyed after a windstorm caused its bell tower to topple over the building. The ruins were sold for $10, and the city bought the Kaysville LDS Academy at 100 North 300 West to use instead. While the struggles between Kaysv ille and Layton were taking place just before and after the turn of the century.

More than 150 members of the 421st Fighter Squadron and the 388th Maintenance Squadron deployed in October in support of Operation Southern Watch. Southern Watch operations began in Southwest Asia, Aug. 27, 1992, when a no-fl- y zone was established south of the 32nd parallel to ensure safety of coalition aircraft monitoring Iraqs compliance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 688. There was refreshments available for the returning members, their families and well wishers.

In 1895 the Salt Lake Union Stockyards were established, which were sold to Intermountain Packing in 1906 and to Cudahy Meat Packing Company in 1916. North Salt Lake was also widely known as a fruit growing area. The first orchards came west of Highway 91 in 1891. but in the early 1900s Fred Odell covered the sloping hillsides with fruit trees and North Salt Lake found itself in the center of a flourishing fruit shipping business.

Brent DeYoung, project manager for the Ogden UDOT region. with Jack Parsons (gravel) indicated their property could be used for much of the park and ride lot. However, no contracts or details have been worked out. That park and ride would be different from a planned permanent facility that would be part of the interchange. Only three weekdays and one weekend are really of concern, as far as the Olympics are concerned, it was noted. However, there will be hundreds of buses transporting people to Snow Basin, where there are 20,000 and 10,000 standing places, said Grant Thomas of the SLOC. To say the least, there are many loose issues, from if and when an interchange will be built to security sit-do- concerns. Although at least one official at the meeting downplayed the fact that checks for weapons and illegal drugs won't be done until people converge on Olympic venues, at least one official there had concerns. Weber and Morgan County law enforcement people don't like scanning at the venue, Morgan County Commissioner Larry London sakl - Because a number of Davis cities didn't become incorpoCounty rated until the 1930s in the quest for for adequate water supplies, much of their history takes place in the latter portion of the 20th century. But even at the turn of the century, many early settlers and the seeds of the future communities were already in r A place. Syracuse, for instance, already had its first school by 1891. and in 1906 Homer Walker and Harvey Moore VfAAT were serving up mouthwatering treats at Walker's Confectionery. West Bountiful, which didnt become incorporated until 1948, had been home to early settlers since 1848 and was known for its rich, although somewhat swampy, soil. It had its first doctor in 1892 and by 1895 had voted (along with South to withdraw Bountiful) Add money from Bountiful City. Clearfield, originally known as Sand Ridge began to come to life after the railroad was built in the area in 1870. The first pioneer child was bom there in 1878, the first schools were held in 1884 and the first perschool was built in manent 1890. But its history as a town would have to wait until its formation in 1922 and its incorporation in 1946. Nearby Clinton began as the Range in the 1870s and built its first school in 1885, on its way to formal incorporation in 1936. Fruit Heights dates to the 1840s, with early pioneers settling along Mountain Road in 1859. It remained largely a rural area for many years, on its way to incorporation in 1939. Although an adobe house was built in Sunset in 1854, settlement took place in the 1880s when the Durben Terry, Chauncy Hadlock and William Martin families started homesteading the area. In 1903, the Martin family (which had started out in a dugout and later moved to a cobrick ttage) settled in a house on 20 acres in modern-da- y Sunset. The first grocery store and gas station was built in 1912, and by 1916 the area had grown large enough to organize an LDS ward. one-roo- at any time. Opportunities TO WITHDRAW WITHOUT m PENALTY.'
